Hmmm... NEW MACHINE. I suspect to crash it, you'll have to have a bad
driver or bad hardware. Can you try another port, printer or driver? You
might also check the PC's BIOS for the setting on the parallel port (if
that's what you're using).

Subject: [SLUG] Kernel 2.6 print lockups
Folks:
I recently installed a new machine as my desktop, and upgraded Linux to the
2.6 kernel series. I also upgraded all the printing infrastructure (CUPS et
al) to the latest version out of Debian unst*ble. Since I did this, I've had
an intermittent problem with HARD lockups when printing.
It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it locks up the machine so
bad I can't even SSH in from another machine. I was just printing from
Thunderbird, and as soon as it went to execute the print job, it locked up.
The program I'm printing from doesn't matter. The printer knows it's about
to get something, because the little light flashes like it's getting data.
As soon as I reboot, the job that I sent to print now prints (usually).
Anyone run into this?
